About Lance Lee Davis:
“I have been swimming in the ocean since infancy and swam competitively for 11 years. While I do hold recreational SCUBA and nitrox certifications, my passion has always been freediving. My deepest freedives to date are 242′ (74M), constant weight without fins, as well as 80M done constant weight with bi-fins. Official records I currently hold include the US National Record in CNF at 74M, as well as one apnea related Guinness World Record. Besides competitive freediving, I do love to spearfish, and got my start with ‘real freediving’ while hunting the Southern California ocean in around 2010. I’m now into my seventh year as a full time professional freediver, having since then earned my US Coast Guard captain’s license, worked as a freediver on numerous film and TV projects, and been teaching under both Performance Freediving International and Molchanov’s.”
